Thanksgiving, Christmas and a few things inbetween.

I have become really lazy with the pictures that I use on the blog. I use the ones I already posted on facebook because I am too lazy to upload other pics from my phone. BUT, I am just glad I am still posting on the blog!!!

 

 

Thanksgiving family pic.

Not the best but I am just glad that I got a picture from the day. It was a normal Thanksgiving spent with family.

 

 

Right after Thanksgiving the kids and I went on a quick adventure to Springfield, IL. We met Marina, Hendrix and Maddox (they drove from Chicago). We went to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum which was really amazing. We spent the night in a great hotel and had a chance to check out a few other sites. It was fun but a really quick trip!

 

 

I love this pic of the kids outside of the library.

 

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas was consumed with shopping, list making, class parties, family parties. Lots and lots going on and very little pics taken.

Nana and Papa topped Santa this year....they got each of the kids a kindle fire. It has been a huge hit! They love them!!!

The day after Christmas we met up with our friends Steve and Sarah (in from Florida) and went ice skating. It was so much fun. We haven't taken the kids skating in a few years. Lucas was so excited to skate as fast as he could and didn't care if he fell. Addison took it slow at first and was a little pro by the time we left. 

So Christmas is over and I am super sad about it. I am not ready to take the tree down and move on to boring January. We have some fun things coming up in February and the kids start soccer soon....so we will be plenty busy.
